Here's a short and sweet explanation about what artists can deduct at tax time. It's the same as any business, but there are some things that are good to know. For one, you may need to depreciate that new easel, and you may need to only deduct some expenses after you've sold the artwork. However, if you've bought it or done for the purposes of making, marketing, or selling your art then you can deduct it.

Good luck!
